1. In many things yes; I like to control the flow and know what to expect. Sometimes plans implode and make for a good time!!
2. Be ready when the Luck Happens, the Ina Garten memoir pretty much is about plans going to the wayside, and her biz turned out pretty amazing! “How easy is that?!”
@Kshakal @JenReadsAlot @BethM
1- spots I love rainbow polka dots 😂

@Kshakal thank you for the tag!
1- as a teen probably? I just turned 37. Not really my jam, I‘m too anxious 😂
2- 100% why else do you have a kindle app on your phone? Always have a backup book!
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView
1. Last at Universal Orlando October ‘22, on the countdown to Disneyland currently. Big Disney fan!!
2. I have taken my kindle into Disney World, I read at the base of Space Mountain while waiting for my kids. Never leave home without it ☺️

1. Not really, but try to stick with my #bookspinbingo picks for the month
2. Butter for #camplitsy24
Thanks @Kshakal @TheSpineView #two4tuesday
1. Unusual…I feel like I know a lot of music and enjoy surfing stations to see if I can sing along with every song I hear. I like to speak in lyrics. Kind of ridiculous but I like to make my own fun🥳
2. I occasionally enjoy a good time travel talent like in The Time Travelers Wife.

pickNicci French used to be one of my favourite mystery crime authors. I still have a few unread titles on my bookshelf, so I thought to revisit this author. Maybe I have aged, or my palate has changed, as it has turned out to be an average read for me now. Tuesday's Gone is the second book from the Freida Klein's series. I have not read any from this series and it can be read as a standalone as I didn't feel the gap. My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. 👇🏻
#two4tuesday thanks for the tags @Kshakal @TheSpineView
1- unsure I‘m a total mood reader
2- I have an indie romcom on preorder
1. I see Ann Napolitano has an old book being released so I have a new hold on Within Arms Reach…I saw intergenerational and Irish, sold.
2. How the Light Gets In by Joyce Maynard, the sequel to Count the Ways. I saw an online reading of the first chapter last weekend, she is so gifted.
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView Thanks for the tag @Kshakal - I‘m late getting on this, I‘d love everyone to join in.
1- I love unicorns but dragons are fearsome.
2- Bruce coville‘s into the land of the unicorns or GoT
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView
1. Michael Tolliver from 2. The Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin…I read this series several times in college and as a young adult, such a fun coming of age story in a wild 70‘s/80‘s San Francisco.
Thanks for the tag @Kshakal #Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
1. I can't think of any, but I had a friend who would pull them on me all the time at work. Lol.
2. My brain is going to nonfiction like Tina Fay and Jim Gaffigan.
Thanks @Kshakal @TheSpineView #two4tuesday
1. 2015. I moved from Virginia to West Virginia
2. The Supernatural Enhancement by Edgar Cantero. The main characters move into a house that may or may not be haunted.
Thank you for the tag @audraelizabeth

1. 1997 when we bought our current home.
2. Durable Goods by Elizabeth Berg, I really enjoyed her early books.
Thanks for the tag @Kshakal Tagging @JenReadsAlot and @BethM

1. Hands down my favorite book was The Covenant of Water, maybe my favorite all year, we‘ll see.
2. Maybe Kristin Hannah‘s new one The Women or whatever BOTM brings.
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView
Thank you for the tag @Kshakal - better late then never I posted lol.

1- living semi off grid. No day job, baking, reading, living in the middle of nowhere.
2-all of them
1- absolutely. Learned at 15 with A LOT of tears (😂), most of my cars as an adult including my current one have been manual.
2- no clue- i generally read romance, cozy, and sff 🤷♀️
#two4tuesday thanks for the tags! @Kshakal @peaKnit
Thanks for the tag @Kshakal #Two4Tuesday
1. I have driven manual many times but would not say I was ever proficient at it. I could probably do it if I had to, but the gears be grinding. 🤣
2. Christine by Stephen King, scared me as a kid!
Tagging @JenReadsAlot @Kshakal @BethM
1. If I had to be done, I could be, but I could also round out a couple of things with one more trip🤣
2. Oh, hard question…I just finished Bright Lights, Big Christmas and the main character kept shopping a floral market and I thought that would be nice. I covet fancy ribbons. 🎀
Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView @Kshakal Tagging @JenReadsAlot and @BethM #Two4Tuesday
1. Bright Young Women on audio was my favorite read.
2. It‘s my husband‘s birthday today so we are playing pinball and eating cake. 🎃
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
Thank you for the tag @Kshakal
1. Pumpkin Spice coffee or baked oatmeal, I‘m not a pumpkin pie/bar fan.
2. Scary stories 👻 Stephen King is the best!

1. Skittles and Starburst 🌈✨
2. I've thought about this all day and I don't know that I have a favorite... I guess I'll say Pumpkinheads because I've read it more than once, it's cute and autumnal 🎃🍂
Tagging any who reads this and hasn't played yet 👻
1- played softball most of my life, have also been a dancer and cheerleader. Adore watching football.
2- anything by Sarina Bowen
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView
1. I enjoy watching baseball in person, football on the TV. I‘ve been a Cubs fan since birth, so that‘s my favorite team to root for even if I am in Brewer Country. I like to run/walk now but played softball in Highschool. And love a game of Horse!
2. Beartown is a great read about a rough and tumble home town hockey league. The team itself is probably the main character, everyone in town is involved.
Thanks for the tag @Kshakal #Two4Tuesday
1. Playing is a hard pass! Lol. Enjoy watching football, baseball and soccer. I did jump on the Milwaukee Bucks bandwagon the past couple years!
2. Carrie Soto and Beartown
Thanks @Kshakal @TheSpineView #two4tuesday
1. I have to thank @TheSpineView for the tag because I can blather one more time how much I love, love, loved 💕 Tom Lake by Ann Patchett. The audio by Meryl Streep WOW.
2. The simple life of this family. Mrs. Nelson, Lara, the narrator, could have had a different, more exciting life but she chose and loved the one she got. Simple, cherries, Michigan. I‘m a midwesterner and that all sounds like a slice of heaven, but oooooh the adventures she had!
1. Nope
2. The Twilight Series, I enjoyed the wealthy old vamps. Or the evil grandma in Flowers in the Attic.
#Two4Tuesday Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView and @Kshakal
1. The day after Labor Day
2. I must not have ever read any - can‘t think of one!
@TheSpineView #two4tuesday
1. Public school starts September 1, my college freshman 😭 starts September 5.
2. Never Let Me Go Kazuo Ishiguro or (cheese alert) the Twilight series, I enjoyed reading that with my mom and sister and we saw each movie on opening day, it‘s a great memory. And Team Edward, I may have a shirt.
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView Tagging @Kshakal @JenReadsAlot @BethM
Thanks for the tags!
1- staying in the house!
2- no but definitely ones I‘ve found refuge in. I‘ve never forgotten how I felt when I read my first Mercedes Lackey as kid. She opens fantasy up to me .
#two4tuesday @TheSpineView And thank you for the tag @Kshakal
1. Enjoying the air conditioning inside. I have been walking in the morning and take a cool shower to try to stop sweating! Gross!
2. Brene Brown is inspiring to me, to believe I can be better. But also memoirs of real people facing hard things can be inspiring. To read what people can overcome is incredible, a reminder of the things humans are capable of in the face of adversity.
Thanks for the tag @Kshakal
1/ not enough bc of space limitations
2- my shelves are unread by genre. My stored are by series

Thank you for the tag @TheSpineView #Two4Tuesday
1. My favorite for May was Hula by Jasmin Iolani Hakes - on audio, the narration added to the fictional story as well as the history of Hawaii, and I enjoyed the occasional first person address to the reader.
2. Forager by Iliana Regan…I was hoping to join a local book club zoom with an intro by my fav local author Nikolas Butler, for him, I tried - it was just not my style so I abandoned the plan.
1. Yard work and relaxing, I hope!
2. A little time travel, comfortable finances and a better future for my children/ the world then I envision right now.
#Two4Tuesday thank you for tags from @TheSpineView and @Kshakal
1. Maybe a getaway to mark my youngest daughters graduation, somewhere with water. And I have booked an end of summer trip to North Carolina with knitting girlfriends.
2. Beach reads, but then anytime I am near water they are a favorite, any season. 🏝️
#Two4Tuesday thanks for the tag @Kshakal @TheSpineView
#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView @Kshakal A day late!
1. English and history
2. Harry Potter is an obvious choice. I loved reading it along with my kids. Tru Biz was also a story with a school that was unique.
